indian women maybe stressed up because they are into engineering and IT?
i used to think most are stay at home so why the stress?

Princek12:

why would Nigerian women not be the among the top 10 stressed women in the world? Instead of taking life easy, they believe they have to make shakara, have an attitude to people they don't know, and so on. Nigerian women stress themselves for no apparent reason.

Go to any gathering of Nigerian women, and you will see that they do not loosen up compared to other African women. They still live in an age where they stupidly think that a woman has to have an attitude not for any apparent reason but because that is what women do. Having that mentality alone can stress women out. And when they are now old and have no man, the stress doubles, making them go to night vigils in these churches and giving their hard earned money to pastors so that the pastors can "pray" for them to find a husband.

Nigerian women just need to take life easy. Life is hard, but it is not that hard. Chillax, ladies.

PRINCEK12, what are you saying? so of all the reasons in this world, it is 'shakara' that comes to mind, ? Common now, why won't women be stressed, please compare the duties of a man to that of a woman.
women                                                                           men
1. Go to work                                                                          Go to work
2. take care of the home after work                                         sit in the living room, watching the tv
3. cook dinner                                                                           sit and eat.
4. take care of the kids                                                             sit on the computer
5. do the laundry                                                                       sit and read newspaper
6. be the last to go to bed and the first to wake-up                  Be the first to go to bed, and the last to wake up
7. wake up take care of kids and prepare breakfast                  wake up take a shower, eat breakfast.
8.Go to work                                                                               Go to work.

And it goes on and on, some will say, it is a lazy woman that would count all this, and the duties in the work place i did not include oooooo,  all this things are done using the little strength and energy God has given women.

   ^LOL this is just too funny 

. . . and unfortunately it is also true for a lot of women today. Pursuing a career/working while trying to raise a family. Its both the man and the woman's fault. The man's fault because the home-building role traditionally belongs to the woman, so a lot of men do not think it is also their responsibility to help out at home. And it is the woman's fault because she's taking on too much, and should've opened her eyes and checked the kind of man she was marrying - not those traditional relics from the 11th century who's egos are too inflated to enable them pick up a sponge and scrub. If both parties are working - it is only common sense both should also be sharing the home responsibilities.

And oh, if men are supposed to be the stronger sex, shouldn't they also be bearing the bigger portion of the burden?

Nigerian women are overstressed because right from birth they have to fit into what kind of woman,naija men want.
Naija men wont date you if you are
1)opinionated
2)smart and intelligent
3)outdoorsy and outwardly
4)comfortable in your sexuality
5)independent financially
6)have any sort of baggage like kids, even if they have children all over the world.

Thats just my two cents.Naija men are the reason women are stressed.

ROTFLOL    honestly, you're right in that Naija women always seem to have attitude or are 'angry'. This is so true. But with the way some Naija men act, can you blame them?  

Nigerian women tend to have a permanent state of agitation, from WITHIN. Anger, annoyance etc for no apparent reason. I think it depends on where they are from/live though. Some places in Nigeria are very stressful on a daily basis, ie Lagos, Aba etc.

Even when you get out of the airport, it is immediate stress/frustration, lol.

It doesn't take much for many Nigerians to get extremely irate and overly emotional (anger especially).

I thought Nigeria would be in the top three most stressful countries.

9. Men women

stay on the top stay at the bottom

Its a man's world even you recognize it

Sista, all the chores you mentioned above that Nigerian women do are done by women in most parts of the world. And your point even supports my assertion, that life is stressful in and of itself, especially when you consider all the duties that inheres in being a woman. At least those are unavoidable stresses.

But why in the world will Nigerian women carry on avoidable stresses? Why don't they just chill and stop all the attitudes and smile and be happy. You will see how your stress level will reduce.

Nigerian women are always frowning in public functions, and making unnecessary shakara. All the effort it takes to put up that front is inherently stressful. It is usually the little things that make a different.

Why on earth will women of a particular country (Nigerian women) just purposefully walk around everyday acting a fool as if making shakara and frowning is what makes them a woman? That is some jagbajantis bull.

Even if I go to a gathering full of Nigerian women I walk out stressed out because of all the negativity that Nigerian women have. Go to a gathering of women of other countries and you will laugh your arse off when you come out.

MY dear, we have his pocket, our pocket and my pocket, this one is from his pocket, because our pocket is for another purpose.

Everyone, try to think about the last time you saw an african man or black man happily pushing a baby carriage

actually, many of them do that

i see it a lot.


doesnt mean the topic isnt valid though.

^ yea right. like i'm supposed to believe that. 

in Sweden, men take maternity paternity leave from work to take their of their newly born.
I don't know where else in the world that happens regularly. but it's definitely no surprise that swedish women are low stressed.

^^yes, i do see black men pushing baby strollers.

african ones, nigerian ones, even AA ones [i think].


seriously.

mainly with their non-black or non-ethnic partners maybe.

well I don't see it. I only see women doing that
the only time I see a man doing it is if he has no choice/ the wife is not around or is too busy doing something else.

dont know the reason but sometimes the wife or baby mother [i dont know] is right there with them.

Maybe i should relocate to sweden, if the men really take paternity leave,

tpia, where they happily pushing the stroller?

I feel you jare. E no easy. Abeg take care of that little soldier well well. So when he grows up he will be the big soldier of his house - a soldier not afraid to hold toilet brush and work a dish sponge like no man's business

ronkebp:

I think the paid paternity leave is also part of government scheme though to encourage gender equality.
I'm sure women take way more time off from work than men. but compared to the rest of the world, Swedish men take more time off because of generous govt support.

JeSoul:

they werent groaning or frowning or anything.

you mean you've never seen a black man pushing a baby stroller?

that's strange, imo.

In Nigeria, most women back their baby. not use stroller
i'm sure Tpia has never seen a man backing his baby. I sure haven't. lol that would be a sight to see

no, not backing the baby- that's just weird. 

in nigeria, the woman does 98% of the childcare.
